Runil was once an Aldmeri Battlemage in the Great War. However, he laments having killed many people with his magic, but he is willing to train adventurers in the basics of Conjuration. He feels fortunate that Kust and the people of Falkreath have come to accept him as one of their own, and now solely preaches the word of Arkay. Runil keeps a journal of regrets that he wishes not to forget. He lost the journal in a cave that he was exploring and will ask the Dragonborn for help in retrieving it.
